“We engaged Stephen Holmes and his 5R’s team after we found ourselves struggling with our marketing direction. Stephen was the consummate professional; following a school visit, he laid out a plan of action, delivered each stage on time and came in with an inciteful, deep-reaching, evidence-based (so Board members couldn’t dismiss the findings as subjective!), but more important, doable action plan. Thankfully he is not a ‘parachute advisor’ – he comes back in to advise and measure the impact of what he has suggested. To my mind, certainly worth every penny!”

“Once again, I thank you very much for providing your time and expertise to our Board of Governors and Principal, and I believe that your input also generated very valuable discussion that will certainly improve and enrich our future governance of Uplands.”

“Yesterday’s workshop sessions with you were fabulous. I really enjoyed them. Your ideas are so practical. I have started some of your suggestions already.”

“Thank you for providing these articles I shall be very interested in reading them. I wish to say how much I enjoyed your presentation for the CEM in Melbourne yesterday and how valuable it was in stimulating ideas, discussion and providing us with guidelines and strategies to plan with confidence, an achievable way forward in marketing our school. It was hugely energising. I wrote all over my copy of your notes and wish to provide a copy to our Leadership team. It would be very timely, where we are at the moment, for a Marketing Plan to be rewritten by me (thanks to your guidelines ) or I think better still if possible for you to share your expertise with the College Leadership for them to gain an insight into the power of Marketing and the strategies to develop best practice!”

“Your presentation was really helpful yesterday and it has made me rethink a few strategies and thoughts I’ve had about marketing.”

“Thanks very much for the great PD today, your input has helped me to focus what we are trying to do.”
